Looks like Labour's secret documents were actually uploaded online here at the end of October reddit.com/user/gregorati…
Which noone, including jouurnalists (hands up) seemed to notice - there is a lot of interesting stuff in the documents which are mainly not about the health service
Documents show there has been a lot of work going on btw US and UK officials about potential trade deal after Brexit
And shows how much the US side would push to gain that could be hugely controversial here - eg weakening the rules on food labeling, lengthening patents on medicines which could make drugs more expensive here
Interesting docs also suggest hopes on the US side of making quick progress with a deal partly for political advantage for Trump, even if the chances of getting a deal done by 2020 by end of his first term are low
But important to note, the documents do not show final agreement on UK side, and don't confirm Labour's claim the govt is trying to sell off the NHS - documents go up til July 19 covering Theresa May, not Boris Johnson's time in office
But documents will be used no doubt as evidence that discussions have been had and US making demands will be used again and again by Labour in what's left of the campaign - bid to get onto safer political territory for them that's trickier for the Tories
No govt ministers appear to have been present apart from Liam Fox at the first meeting - altho officials of course are always very well aware of what ministers want and don't want!
